Question Who's added an oil temp gauge into their Z????

I'm curious if anyone has added that in yet? Also which brand did you go through and so forth? I use dto own a euro so the japanese market for gauges is a totally diff game for me, so I'd appreciate some pointers

I will be in a few weeks. I'm probably going to use Autometer gauges. My plan is to add an oil temp and water temp gauge in a custom panel in the nav opening.

Z-Series or Sport-Comp.... there's a million choices at www.jegs.com in the gauges section, so it's really hard to choose.

I mainly want them for more information while at the track, which is why I'll mount them in the nav opening, behind the nav door. For that reason, I'm not too concerned with overall looks... the Z-Series and Sport-Comps look the best for what I am trying to do.

I'm curious as to where & how you are getting the sensor hooked up. Drain plug replacement? Tapping into the electronics?

I NEED to do this soon.....HELP!
